I have not read ANY of the books that you guys have listed (which is kind of shameful, but that's why I asked). <br />The second draft of the first chapter will be ready soonish, and I'd love to send it to anyone who is willing to read it and give me some feedback. I will post when this happens.<br />thanks again!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372128468282639748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773097852582328039.post-44856611074752952472010-07-28T18:38:17.843-04:002010-07-28T18:38:17.843-04:00Christopher Moore has written a few books about va...Christopher Moore has written a few books about vampires; Bite Me, I know is one, although I can't remember the sequence of the books. It might be the first one. Since you like RPGs, what about I, Strahd ;) Of course, I haven't read it since I was probably 15, but I remember liking it ;0) I'd be happy to test read, also.

I can also only support blogging, and I can ESPECIALLY only support playing tabletop roleplaying games.<br /><br /><br />Have you read Anne Rice's stuff?
